Psalm 149:5-9
When did i ever imply that they didnt. Blacks in america didnt have a name to identify with so we chose black. No one else in the diaspora used black as an identity the way americans did. In fact we are the only blacks in the diaspora that didnt have a name to identify with. Most blacks in the uk and other countries came from the caribbean or an african country
Bingo, African and Caribbean people do not classify themselves as black until became conscious and have the black experience...which I call baptism by fire. My parents grew into the black consciousness after living the US since the early-mid 1970s. My dad is probably the strongest hybrid of black American and African culture that you will ever see in your life. He has been here for over 40 years. His vinyl collection of soul and RnB music sh!ts on 90% of black Americans in his age group. My dad lived in 3rd Ward the heart of black Houston on the southside for many years and this was went sh!t was really crackin in H-town and highest murder rate in the US. He saw how the black man was being denied jobs and being isolated by cacs, then cacs bringing drugs into the hood. He said he saw cacs coming from downtown after work on Friday/Saturday nights to buy cocaine, this was right when the War on Drugs started by Nixon. Then he saw crack cocaine come out of nowhere before he moved out the hood when I was born. His social understanding of the worldwide black struggle is crazy, because he understands the black struggle inside and outside Amerikkka.
